Thanks for the answers to my previous questions. Now, some more newbie questions... Is there... 1) any module to simplify command-line parsing? Ideally, something like Perl's Getopt::Declare. 3) any module to deal with either quicktime, mpeg or avi files (mainly play them)? 4) any 3D classes ( Vector, Matrix, etc)? 5) any module for secure shell, like Perl's Net::SSH?
